Ravinder Singh Bedi v Minister for Immigration and Border Protection

RAVINDER SINGH BEDI

v

MINISTER FOR IMMIGRATION AND BORDER PROTECTION & ANOR

[2015] HCASL 102
M32/2015

1. This is an application for leave to appeal from a judgment of a single Justice of this Court (Hayne J) given on 17 February 2015 dismissing an application for an order to show cause directed at the respondents. 

2. The application concerned the lawfulness of a decision of a delegate of the first respondent to refuse to grant the applicant a Skilled (Provisional) (Class VC), Subclass 485 (Skilled – Graduate) visa on the basis that the applicant had not provided evidence that he had competent English in accordance with the visa criteria; and a decision of the Federal Court of Australia (Tracey J) refusing the applicant leave to appeal from a decision of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia (Jones J).  Jones J had dismissed an application for judicial review of a decision of the Migration Review Tribunal that had affirmed the decision of the first respondent's delegate.

3. There is no reason to doubt the correctness of the decision of Hayne J.  The present application, therefore, does not enjoy sufficient prospects of success to warrant the grant of leave to appeal.

4. Pursuant to r 41.10.5 we direct the Registrar to draw up, sign and seal an order dismissing the application.
